Il commencera à Kuala Lumpur pour ensuite se dérouler à Penang et enfin pour la première fois dans l’histoire du Festival, à Kota Kinabalu. À travers une sélection de 17 films français, nous vous invitons à voyager avec le capitaine Jacques Cousteau dans L’Odyssée, à rire devant les péripéties de la famille Patar dans Cigarettes et Chocolat chaud mais aussi à découvrir les terribles dessous de l’affaire de L’arche de Zoé dans Les Chevaliers Blancs. La programmation rassemblant drames, comédies, dessin animé ainsi que des thrillers, saura satisfaire tous les amateurs de culture française.

Les chevaliers blancs The white knights Inspiré de l’affaire de l’Arche de Zoé qui débuta en 2007, ce film illustre parfaitement le proverbe « l’enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions ». Jacques Arnault, directeur de l’ONG française « Move for Kids », fait croire à des chefs de villages et des familles africaines au Tchad qu’il construit un orphelinat tandis que son but n’est autre que de ramener les enfants qui lui sont confiés à des familles adoptives en France.

Based on the case regarding the Zoé’s Ark charity organisation which started in 2007, this film is a perfect example of the phrase “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Pretending before village chiefs and African families in Tchad he is building an orphanage, “Move for Kids” NGO director Jacques Arnault’s true goal is to bring back the children he is entrusted with to adoptive families in France.

Le 6 août 1945, la ville d’Hiroshima fut détruite par la bombe atomique lâchée par les USA sur le Japon. Sadako avait deux ans à l’époque. Lorsqu’elle eut 12 ans, les médecins lui détectèrent une forme rare de leucémie. On lui raconta alors une légende japonaise qui stipule que quiconque confectionne mille grues en origami voit son vœu exaucé. Elle confectionna 644 grues de papier avant de mourir. Ses amis finirent le reste.

Valentine Nagata-Ramos, danseuse phare de la compagnie Uzumaki, s’est inspirée de cette histoire japonaise pour son spectacle dans lequel elle mêle hip-hop, butô et origamis pour exprimer le cheminement entre l’enfance et l’âge adulte. Ce spectacle, qui rassemble des éléments modernes et traditionnels ainsi qu’une fusion entre l’orient et l’occident, présentera d'abord des pièces exécutées par des danseurs malaisiens de la compagnie Kwang Tung Dance dirigés en amont par Nagata-Ramos, puis cette dernière jouera Sadako.

On August 6th, 1945, the Japanese city of Hiroshima was destroyed by an atomic bomb dropped by the US. Sadako was two years old then and was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia at the age of 12. She was then told about a Japanese legend stating that whoever folds a thousand paper cranes shall see their wish granted. Sadako managed to fold 644 paper cranes before she died. Her friends folded the rest.

This Japanese story inspired the leading dancer of the Uzumaki Company, Valentine Nagata-Ramos. In her show, she mixes hip hop, butô and origami to express the journey from childhood to adulthood. The evening, which unites tradition and modernity and merges eastern and western elements, will first feature first performances from Malaysian dancers from Kwang Tung Dance Company following a workshop led by Nagata-Ramos, then the show Sadako performed by the master dancer herself.

La volonté de porter un nouveau regard sur l’art du jonglage et de l’aborder d’un point de vue plus dramaturgique est ce qui a poussé Phia Ménard à fonder la « Compagnie Non Nova ». Le précepte « Non nova, sed nove », qui signifie « Non pas de nouvelles choses, mais d’une manière nouvelle » a été l’idée fondatrice de cette compagnie. Cette dernière s’applique d’ailleurs à leur spectacle qui aura lieu dans la Black Box de Publika.

Cette chorégraphie est un ballet exécuté par des marionnettes en sacs plastique accompagné des superbes morceaux de Claude Debussy : « L’Après-midi d’un faune », « Nocturnes » et « Dialogue du vent et de la mer ». Ce spectacle de 25 minutes est destiné à un public familial.

The will to bring a fresh perspective to the art of juggling and approach it from a more dramaturgical angle led Phia Ménard to create the “Non Nova Company”. The founding idea of this company, the maxim “Non nova, sed nove”, means “Not new things, but in a new way”. A notion which, actually, applies to the show they will perform in the Publika’s Black Box. The choreography will be a ballet of plastic bag puppets performing to Claude Debussy’s superb pieces “Afternoon of a faun”, “Nocturnes” and “Dialogue of the wind and the sea”. This 25-minute show is meant for the enjoyment of the whole family.

Towards a complex governance of global environmental problems Conférence du Prof. Philippe Le Prestre, Professeur en sciences politiques à l'Université de Laval, Canada.

L'émergence et la résolution des problèmes environnementaux mondiaux constituent l'un des principaux défis pour l’humanité dans sa quête de sécurité et justice. Aux carrefours des nouvelles réflexions internationales et des problématiques traditionnelles, les politiques environnementales mondiales ouvrent une fenêtre sur la nature même et les fondements des relations internationales contemporaines.

Prof. Philippe Le Prestre débattra de la nécessité de dépasser les idées reçue des politiques environnementales internationales et de l’approche systémique complexe qui aiderait à définir les contours d'un nouveau modèle de gouvernance environnementale internationale.

Cette conférence s’inscrit également dans le cycle des événements publics Mindset de l’Université de Nottingham Campus Malaisie.

Talk by Prof. Philippe Le Prestre, political sciences lecturer at University of Laval, Canada.

The emergence and resolution of global environmental problems constitutes one of the major challenges to humanity’s quest for security and justice. Through its concern for the relationships between these issues and traditional political issues, for the various roles that international actors play in their dynamics, for the bases of international cooperation, and for the interactions among international and national arrangements, global ecopolitics opens a window onto the very nature and foundations of contemporary international relations.

Prof. Philippe Le Prestre talk would discuss the need to go beyond the received wisdom of international environmental politics and on how a complex systems approach might help define the contours of a new model of international environmental governance.

This talk is also part of Mindset public events by University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus
